Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: What treatment methods are most effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), surgical removal of the fibrotic prostate tissue is the fundamental method for self-healing. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and other treatment methods, depending on your condition, you may need to switch to other medications or treatment plans. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. Pay attention to a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake, avoid spicy foods, and maintain regular bowel movements. BPH can be alleviated, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
